Empty Space In Variable Name

[scriptor2016]

Hi, I'm hoping this one is simple... can't find the answer to this. Is there a simple way to include an empty space in a variable name?

For example, this works:

Code: Select all

Gui 1: Add , Text, +cFFFFFF x10 y10 w100 h20 vMyVariable gClick, MyTest

but this one doesn't, because of the empty space between "My" and "Variable":

Code: Select all

Gui 1: Add , Text, +cFFFFFF x10 y10 w100 h20 vMy Variable gClick, MyTest

variable name cant have space

You might approximate a space in a variable name by using an underscore instead.

Example:

Code: Select all

Gui 1: Add , Text, +cFFFFFF x10 y10 w100 h20 vMy_Variable gClick, MyTest

ok yes, thanks. I was already using an underscore instead of an empty space. I was just hoping that I didn't have to do that, but it's no problem.

thanks again

Hallo,
try:

Code: Select all

Ideographic　Space := Chr(0x3000)

[scriptor2016]

Code: Select all

Ideographic Space := Chr(0x3000)

msgbox, %Ideographic Space%

hi, i get an error message saying 'this line does not contain a recognized action'

[Rohwedder]

Here it works:

Code: Select all

Ideographic　Space := Chr(0x3000)
MsgBox, %Ideographic　Space%

[scriptor2016]

still doesn't work here.

but when i save your code, i get the "warning" message regarding unicode characters... might that be something to do with it?

Hallo,
try:

Code: Select all

MsgBox,% A_IsUnicode?"Unicode":"Ansi"

It should be Unicode! Your autohotkey should run as Unicode version, not Ansi!

[scriptor2016]

Code: Select all

Ideographic Space := Chr(0x3000)
MsgBox,% A_IsUnicode?"Unicode":"Ansi"

now it says Error at Line 1, this line does not contain a recognized action:
Ideographic Space := Chr(0x3000)

[Rohwedder]

See:https://www.autohotkey.com/docs/Tutorial.htm#s11
…
During installation of AutoHotkey, you will be asked to choose from UNICODE or ANSI. In short, you would probably want to choose UNICODE. It has support for non-English letters and numbers (characters). Keep going until you see an Install button.

and choose UNICODE

Is because the Rohwedder string contains a 00 and yours a 20 between Ideographic and Space

[scriptor2016]

does this mean I should un-install my AHK and re-install using Unicode?
